On: Group chat sucks for programmers, so I'm fixing the problem

So basicly like a Bulletin Board or 'Discourse'. I think giving everything a Subject line is to much work, at least in some cases.

me too :-)

that's the idea behind being able to pin conversations

----------

you're in 4 conversations:

"PINNED: #development"

"PINNED: off-topic chatter"

"we should replace angular with react"

"design discussion about new mock-up"

-----------

the benefits of long running channels (pinned conversations), while still being able to break important conversations out into their own context (making them easy to find later)

So you mean instead of an Admin pinning it for all Channel Members. Everyone can Pin Messages but only in their own personal view?

yeah

I don't have any strong preference with either option, the latter just seemed more flexible
